Running an ac unit on a battery bank like Blk's and mine, would last about an hour or two (depending on how hot it is inside).&nbsp; Definately a no-no. <br><br>Blk's Honda/5000 btu setup is THE way to go, IMHO. <br><br>In any case, make sure the generator stays dry (keep it under the van), or in blk's case, inside.&nbsp;&nbsp; Neither is earth grounded.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><br>

Blkjak that way out of my price range. I almost had a heart attack.&nbsp;<div>I didn't see a generator in any of your pics did I miss it or do you not have it yet. Id like to see how you set it up. Or maybe you are using shore power(which Im thinking is just land power? correct if Im wrong) Shore power isn't an option where I will be living so&nbsp;that's&nbsp;out of the question. Thanks for the&nbsp;information&nbsp;its been helpful as usual.&nbsp;</div><div>Also I don't if it matters but the 800w was the start up as you asked before. Didn't know if you read the bottom.</div>
